This is like complaining that your student version has the artificial limitation that you can't use it for commercial use. If you needed to use more than 32GB of ram, something only heavy duty commercial servers would need, then you buy the heavy duty commercial version of Windows Server. You have paid a price before that was in essence subsidised by the higher-end commercial users - now you are one of them (Congratulations!) and get to "subsidise" standard versions for the rest of us. It's the same theory as scaled taxation (which is a different argument as government has separate responsibilities than business) - think of yourself as in the highest earning bracket now.
